Comments
Comments: Fun hike breaking trail up wildcat ridge with A-frame ski setup.. 2-3 spots with significant scrambling, *alpine* snowshoes + good balance + high-stepping was sufficient. otherwise recommend crampons for more purchase. compared to the ridge ascent, the ridge traverse is easy hike once on the ridge, as the trail is broken and relatively flat. Doubled back to ski down the resort after sunset on polecat with 1-2 icy spots otherwise great run.
